Q. Is Athena Barber pregnant?!

A. Internet message boards and the Answer this... inbox and search engine referrals are abuzz with the news that Athena Barber is pregnant! The tallglassofmilk has confirmed that Athena is indeed expecting a baby boy, due in January.

Athena, who is best known to NASCAR fans as the Hottest NASCAR Wag and former longtime girlfriend of Clint Bowyer, has most recently been romantically linked to Robby Gordon. The two became involved in an intimate relationship in late February 2009.

As I have been horribly remiss in bringing you updates on Robby Gordon's running of the Dakar Rally ...I'll turn it over to the professionals.

Athena Barber -- who needs no introduction here -- is blogging Team Dakar USA's progress for FHMonline, where they keep 'em coming back each day with a new hot pic of the hottest former NASACAR WAG. If you can take your eyes off the pictures, you can read all about the baby powder terrain, crazy Hummer flipping and the mystery meat they're eating down in South America, where the fans are enjoying the event being hosted for the first time on their continent:

"I don't know where all the people come from? Every town we come to is like going to a NASCAR race. The roads are lined with people for 20 miles entering the towns." (Robby Gordon)

Athena Barber is an exception to the norm. Her off-season departure from NASCAR's fast lane still has people wondering, "WTF were you thinking, Clint Bowyer?"

Athena's natural beauty and outgoing personality, genuine fan-friendliness, affinity for the sport and dedication to her driver's career made her wildly popular even among female fans--and that's no small feat.

You can take NASCAR WAG out of her title, but she's still the Hottest -- and single men worldwide have taken notice. Eat your heart out, Clint "get this man a nickname" Bowyer.

FHM - "In 2007, Athena Barber, Clint Bowyer's girlfriend at the time, was voted NASCAR's Hottest Girlfriend by the drivers in a Sports Illustrated poll, and it's not hard to tell why — beautiful, loves NASCAR and knows more about cars than your neighborhood mechanic. The recently single, high-octane hottie dished to FHM Online about the secret life of a NASCAR girlfriend."
